About this Item:

In his book, Lickerman reveals his underlying premise that our ability to control what happens to us in life may be limited, but we have the ability to establish a life-state to surmount the suffering life brings us. 'The Undefeated Mind' distills the wisdom we need to create true resilience into nine core principles, including:

• A new definition of victory & its relevance to happiness
• The concept of changing poison into medicine
• A way to view prayer as a vow we make to ourselves.
• A method of setting expectations that enhances our ability to endure disappointment & minimizes the likelihood of quitting
• An approach to taking personal responsibility & moral action that enhances resilience
• A process for managing pain, both physical & emotional that enables us to push through obstacles that might otherwise prevent us from attaining our goals
• A method of leveraging our relationships with others, helping us to manifest our strongest selves

Through stories of patients who have used these principles to overcome suffering caused by unemployment, unwanted weight gain, addiction, rejection, chronic pain, retirement, illness, loss, & even death, Dr. Lickerman shows how we too can make these principles function within our own lives, which can enabling us to develop the resilience we need to achieve indestructible happiness. At its core, 'The Undefeated Mind' urges us to stop hoping for easy lives & focus instead on cultivating the inner strength we need to enjoy the difficult lives we all have.
